Profile:
A tall, slim aggressive middle order batsman, a more than useful leg
spin bowler and a reliable close in field, Subramanyam played with
moderate success in the few Tests that he played between 1965 and
1968. Against West Indies at Madras in 1966-67, he hit a breezy 61,
treating Hall and Griffith with disdain. He did little of note on the
tour of England in 1967. He touched form late though and played in
two of the three Tests. Pressed to open the attack because of
injuries to the regular new ball bowlers, he bowled Geoff Boycott in
the third Test at Edgbaston. On the tour of Australia and New Zealand
in 1967-68, he did little of note, save for a fighting 75 in a losing
cause in the first Test at Adelaide. In the late sixties, he migrated
to Australia.
`Subbu' was a tower of strength to Mysore for over a decade,
captaining them for a few years. In the Ranji Trophy, he scored 2251
runs (41.20) and his highest score was a memorable unbeaten 213
against Madras at Chepauk in 1966-67. During that innings, he hit 25
fours and six sixes and shared a 117 run last wicket partnership with
BS Chandrasekhar, out of which Subramanyam's share was 105. He was
also a prolific scorer for South Zone in the Duleep Trophy
championship. In a decade long first class career, he scored 4219 runs
(31.72) with eight centuries. (Partab Ramchand)
